$14,279,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,307 per student
Middleton District booked $14,279,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 221 full-time teachers in its Common Core of Data district staff file for 2022-23 (the school files behind the staffing figures on this page count teachers separately, so the two can differ), or $64,614 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 46 in 100 Idaho districts with a figure (state median $65,359, 168 districts). It is spending, not what a teacher is paid: the salary lines and the teacher count come from different files, so the result can differ widely from the average salary the district publishes (its salary schedule gives pay); benefits are left out, and states book salaries differently, so compare districts within one state. For pay, the National Education Association put the average Idaho teacher salary at $54,232 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

|---|---|---|
| Regular programs | $11,273,000 | 78.9% |
| Special education | $2,030,000 | 14.2% |
| Other programs | $976,000 | 6.8% |
